Do you think it will cut up to 1/4"aluminum sheeting with the correct bit,

This unit turns too fast to cut aluminum. I think you would run the risk of melting the aluminum into the bit.

i don't see why it wouldn't, it cut a nail for me that i didn't know was there ,just slow it down and you shouldn't have any trouble. good luck

I think it would cut a very short period. But I think with the rpms this tool runs you will have high speed glazing issues if you need to cut any legnth of time.

It will, but may not leave the cleanest cut. I would not recommend this saw for 'finish' work like that. I use this for rough edges like installing electrical outlets where the rough edges are covered by a finish plate.

I would say it would! I have been cutting small pieces of 5/8" and also have cut a 3/4" bolts off the truck and it did just fine. Even though it is made to cut 1/2" max.

Sure it will. You'll need an abrasive wheel with a 1/4 " shank. A bigger tool than its photo.

I work on aircraft and it's able to cut 24 gauge aluminum with no problem. Copper i think is softer... So it should work.

Absolutely, just need the right bit. The question would be what would the depth of the cut be and is the blade long enough to cut through what you want. If it is close, may be cut from both sides??????

This should work on 1/4 inch and even down to sheet metal it comes with spacers for thicker applications

You bet, but how well depends on the bit. Even though they are more brittle (& pricy) than high-speed steel bits, I've experienced the best results using carbide on steel & aluminum; carbide's smoother/less porous surface tends to be more resistant to loading-up with chips.

I doubt it. The bit surfaces are too large. There are probably specialized products for those small applications or you might be better off using a thin reverse drill bit.

If it fits on the saw it will work. The blade that comes with this saw will cut thru just about ny metal. I have used my saw to cut 3 1/4 OD oil field pipe with out any problem. This ip is so hard that a dril bit will not touch it.

I would not recommend as a "working bit" much bigger than 3/16" but you could use a 1/4" I would not recommend it.

In my opinion no. With this thick of a bit you would likely burn out your dremel motor and it may not drill perfectly straight.

my husband said yes it would but to take your time and if it starts heating up to stop and let it cool off then finish if it's real thick. he has cut 1/4 inch with no problem or heating up.

I am certain it will. I have cut through some high tensile heavy duty decking nails and fasteners that are much thicker. You must remember that it is a vibration action tool so hold your workpiece well.

I am sure it would cut it. Just wondering if the wax would build up on the cutter.

Share similar response before: you may wish to use an aluminum cutting tool.
